For this layout I used a piece of 49 and Market paper for the background and Maja Design papers for some of the die-cuts.

These are the dies I used:

Jasper Doily - Couture Creations

Baroque Border - ArtScrap (AliExpress)

Flower and Leaf Assortments Set 2 Fleurs

Flourish #13 Cheery Lynn Designs

Mini Ruffle Rectangles Tattered Lace

Square Frames Cheery Lynn Designs

Ferns Tattered Lace

For the leaf and flower die-cuts, I traced around them with a marker to accentuate the edges.  The larger die-cuts were layered over a black copy and offset slightly to create a faux shadow.  To make the small spiky flowers, I layered the small flower die-cuts and glued some Prills in the center using Perfect Paper Adhesive.  I transfered some of the adhesive to a small fine-tipped bottle for more precise application.

These are the chipboard pieces I used:

Flutter Page Dangles Blue Fern Studios

Spring Trinkets Blue Fern Studios

I painted the chipboard pieces dark brown then applied Prima Texture Paste - White Crackle.  When that was dry I rubbed brown ink overtop to "antique" it and accentuate the cracks.  I also traced around the edges with a brown marker to make it "pop" off the page a bit more.  Nuvo Vintage Drops in Bonnie Blue was applied to the floral parts of the Spring Trinket pieces.

I added a few touches of blue watercolour around the page and applied some Prima Art Stones.  I mixed the 3 different sizes of the art stones in a small cup, poured some Perfect Paper Adhesive overtop, stirred to coat the stones and applied them with a palette knife (scraping small clumps off with a tooth pick). 

I also applied a few eyelets and did some punching randomly around the edges of the page.

Thank you so much for taking a look!
